Meeting Summary:

"PUBLIC COMMENT

A Brady Lake resident expressed concern about illegal parking along the lake and traffic speeding through the area. He requested that trustees consider pylons or guardrails to keep people from parking; he also would like consideration of a three-way stop sign along Lakeview and Leonard. He expressed thanks for the efficiency and professionalism in recent storm cleanup throughout the township.

Detective DeSerio presented call information during May, including welfare checks, assaults on suspicious vehicles or persons, thefts, mental health issues, and assistance to other agencies, among others, for 397 calls.

ROAD, ZONING AND FIRE UPDATES

The two trustees present approved a quote totaling $2850 for tree removal in the area.
Mr. Ackerley also provided a spreadsheet prioritizing road resurfacing in the township for 2024.
A discussion followed about the possibility of securing grant money to help with some paving.

A discussion about allowing no parking signs in the Germaine Reserve development followed information about a parking complaint by a resident. Both trustees agreed that the HOA is a better body to resolve the matter.

Mr. Smith reported that newly installed alarm systems at the township hall have been tested and are a go. He also reported that the tenant at The Burnt Pickle had submitted plans for additional bathrooms at the business, but the zoning inspector has not received any request for such a permit.
